Role in the Classics Classroom (real or virtual):

teacher

About Me:

Currently teaching Latin in Richmond and have been teaching (in one form or another) Latin since 2003. Interests: animals overall but definitely a cat person (my "goddess" of Spring is in the picture), crafts, movies, reading, all of which are good ways to detox at the end of a long day. :-)

Favorite on-line spots for the Classics:

Encyclopedia Mythica: (www.pantheon.org) -- great resource for ALL types of mythologies from across the globe.

Latin Derivatives: (www.geocities.com/gene_moutoux/latinderivatives.htm) -- great resource for finding derivatives of Latin words

Favorite on-line spots for education:

the Ecce Romani yahoo group -- even though I am currently using a different text, this is a great place to share ideas and materials with other Latinists :-)

Also, (www.engrade.com) provides an easy-to-use online gradebook accessible from anywhere that has internet access. :-)

Best/worst computer-related classroom happening:

LOL -- well, once the computer started smoking really heavily in a classroom I share with a teacher at one of the schools I teach at, but, other than trying to find resources I can afford or convince the powers-that-be to purchase, I can't think of any at the moment.
